There was a city named Hastnapur, where lived the Kauravas and Pandavas.
They ruled together but the Kauravas were fraudy and the Pandavas were
honest. The Kauravas were not satisfied with their half kingdom. They
thought to snatch the whole kingdom from the Pandavas. One day Duryodhan
called the Pandavas by fraud in his palace and told by a honey toung to
Yudhister for gambling. Yudhister agreed.
Duryodhan defeated Yudhister in gambling. Yudhister lost his treasure,
country, elephants, vehicles, army, animals etc. He also lost the
ornaments of his Queen Draupadi. At the same time Dushasan came to the
palace of Draupadi and started disrobed her saree and insulted her. But
Draupadi prayed god for her safety and God saved her.
So ladies and gentleman there is no sin like gambling in the universe. The
Pandavas avoided the gambling in their whole life and after abdication,
thePandavas became Digamber saints and Draupadi also became a lady saint.
